Slotted between the Ford Mustang and the Ford Thunderbird, the Cougar would be the performance icon and eventually the icon for the Mercury name for several decades. The Cougar was available in two models (base and XR-7) and only came in one body style (a two-door hardtop). Engine choices ranged from the 200 hp 289 in3 two-barrel V8 to the 335 hp 390 in four-barrel V8. A notable performance package called the GT was available on both the base and XR-7 Cougars. This included the 390 in V8, as well as a performance handling package and other performance enhancements. The 1967 Cougar, with the internal code T-7, went on sale September 30, 1966. It was based on the 1967 refaced first-generation Mustang,but with a 3-inch-longer wheelbase and new sheet metal. A full-width divided grille with hidden headlamps and vertical bars defined the front fascia—it was sometimes called the electric shaver grille. At the rear, a similar treatment saw the license plate surrounded on both sides with vertically slatted grillework concealing taillights (with sequential turn signals), a styling touch taken from the Thunderbird. A deliberate effort was made to give the car a more "European" flavor than the Mustang, at least to American buyers' eyes. Aside from the base model and the luxurious XR-7, only one performance package was available for either model: the sporty GT. The XR-7 model brought a simulated wood-grained dashboard with a full set of black-faced competition instruments and toggle switches, an overhead console, a T-type center automatic transmission shifter (if equipped with the optional Merc-O-Matic transmission), and leather/vinyl upholstery. This was the only generation with covered headlights, which were deployed using a vacuum canister system that kept the doors down when a vacuum condition existed in the lines, provided by the engine when it was running. If a loss of vacuum occurred, the doors would retract up so that the headlights were visible if the system should fail. Mercury was serious about the Cougar being the performance icon for the company. The XR7-G, named for Mercury road racer Dan Gurney, came with all sorts of performance add-ons, including a hood scoop, Lucas fog lamps, and hood pins. Engine selection was limited only to the 302, 390, and 428 V8. A total of 619 XR7-Gs were produced, and only 14 Gs were produced with the 428 CJ. The 7.0-L GT-E package was available on both the standard and XR-7 Cougars and came with the 427 V8. The 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air was available in limited numbers on the GT-E beginning 1 April 1968. Conservatively rated at 335 hp, the 428 Cobra Jet could produce much more from the factory. A total of 394 GT-Es were produced, 357 with the 427 and 37 with the 428. The GT-E came with power front disc brakes as standard. The Eliminator performance package appeared for the first time in 1969. A 351-in3 four-barrel Windsor V8 was standard under the hood, with the 390 four-barrel V8, the 428CJ and the Boss 302 available as options. The Eliminator also featured a blacked-out grille, special side stripes, front and rear spoilers, an optional Ram Air induction system, a full gauge package including tachometer, upgraded "Decor" interior trim, special high-back bucket seats, rally wheels, raised white letter tires and a performance-tuned suspension and handling package. It also came in a variety of vibrant colors, such as White, Bright Blue Metallic, Competition Orange, and Bright Yellow. Only two Cougars were produced with the Boss 429 V8, making them the rarest Cougars ever built. Both were factory drag cars, built for "Fast Eddie" Schartman and "Dyno" Don Nicholson. In 1970, the upgraded "Décor" interior and styled steel wheels, standard '69 Eliminator equipment, were moved to the options list for the 1970 Eliminator. No Eliminator convertibles were factory produced in either 1969 or 1970. Our Ebay Policies: Significant Cars is one of the largest Collector Car Brokers and Dealers in the Country.

Mercury : Cougar eliminator tribute 1969 cougar eliminator clone 351 w at runs
$4,200
Carlisle, Pennsylvania
The following vehicle is brought to you by tannersclassics. 1969 Cougar Eliminator clone. This should be considered a project car. Although it does run and drive it is not road worthy at present. When I purchased the car I thought it may be an actual eliminator but the Marti report did not confirm my suspicion. The car has been in dry storage for the past 20 years. The interior will need a new headliner and carpet. The dash, door panels rear interior panels, rear seat and passenger seat are all good. The drivers seat has a couple holes but is useable as is. The original odometer shows 83,000 miles which the previous owner believed to be accurate. A tach dash was installed and was not hooked up. The car comes with the necessary wiring harness. The car starts right up and is drivable in the driveway. The brakes are not good. The radiator was slightly damaged (repairable) when loading the car. At present it does not hold coolant. The motor is a 351 windsor. It has headers, aluminum intake and a 600 Holley carb. The trans is an FMX, the rear is a 3.00 open. The car has 4 original Ford chrome styled steel wheels, a Ford original eliminator hood scoop. The deck spoiler and chin spoiler are reproductions. There is also a spare FMX trans that goes with the car. The front floors are rusty as are the front frame rails. The rails were repaired with angle iron which is functional but not too pretty. The rest of the underside is fairly solid. This car would make a great project for a father/son. The car comes with two replacement quarter panels, two long, replacement floor pans, new leaf springs, and new coil springs. The hideaway headlights are functional. The car has power steering and drum brakes. This is a great project car with lots of potential and extra parts. I will include free local delivery with the buy it now price. For additional details or a vehicle inspection call 717-254-5075.
